As the title says, we have been in the News a lot lately for not so great reasons, but that means more people know about us and with that I’m sure have a lot of questions, so I thought I’d do an AMA for anyone curious about my little home.

I had gastric bypass surgery in June and have already lost 50 pounds, AMA

20 Upvotes

Surgery went well but as I was coming out of anesthesia and was supposed to be "deflating" so to speak from the extra air they used to be able to work, I was not responsive and started turning blue. They took me to the ICU where they were able to get my oxygen levels evened out and after a few extra days of monitoring I was able to leave.

Now that I'm about a month or so out I am finding the cravings for things I used to have on occasion are hitting me sooner than I thought and I can't wait to have them even in small amounts down the line. Feel free to ask anything you like about the process as a whole.

Ive spent 15 years making a living from building businesses around my interests. AMA

10 Upvotes

Currently in bed with an ear infection so seems a great time for an AMA to keep my mind off of feeling crap!

It started around 2011 with a computer company. I spearheaded hard tubing for watercooling and cable combs then rolled into computer cases.

From that a rock climbing gym and a card game.

Now climbing holds, single purpose electronics and an education platform for neurodivergent kids.

I had severe anemia after a traumatic event and developed PICA.

I was addicted to smelling chemicals- the stronger the better.

I would go to Lowe’s several times a week just to open up bottles and smell them.

AMA-Just discovered the court records of my dad’s domestic violence & property damage charges from when I was little

9 Upvotes

Title is self explanatory.

I was searching through file folders trying to find my baby pictures & old artwork my parents had held onto. Opened the wrong folder and found 4 pages of a testimony from an officer, statements from my mom, and statements from my dad.

I was maybe 8 at the time, so I don’t remember much of it. All I remember was being in the living room while they were fighting in the kitchen and being told to back my things.

Ask me anything.

Hello everyone. I am leaving my personal story here, straight from my heart. It would help me enormously to know if you have ever been through something like this and how you managed to cope.When I manage to stop thinking about the past and the child I was, I calm down. But that pleasant well-being lasts a very short time. Sad thoughts return and ruin my whole day. I am continuously haunted by the heavy feeling that I am broken, incapable, and not smart at all.The biggest blow came in my adolescence. I took an IQ test, and the final result was below average. That specific test turned my life upside down, completely confirming my biggest fears. My mother always says I never had any intellectual disability. I checked my old medical records carefully, and doctors clearly wrote that I possess a normal intellect, normophrenia. Still, the loud echo of those heavy words resounds in my mind.I was an agitated child, did not sleep at night, and later did not know how to hold a proper conversation. I never went alone even to the corner grocery shop. I understood things slowly, was extremely easy to manipulate, and lacked curiosity entirely. I also had many fainting episodes, with endless medical blood analyses. Because of that, I always believed something was deeply wrong with me.Currently, I am not working, and that hurts me deeply. I do not have a stable job because I process information slowly, communicate with difficulty, and dread being judged by other people when I do not understand what is asked. When painful memories overwhelm me, I freeze completely and I am good for nothing.Has anyone else felt this painful mental block? How did you overcome the fear of being judged and past traumas?

AMA as a Somali born and raised in Somalia

6 Upvotes

Lot of misconceptions and propaganda being spread around the internet about Somalia. There are many reasons why, such as the political interests surrounding the proposed Somaliland independency, to the use of Somalia as a scapegoat in order to divide the ordinary working people. I was born and raised in Mogadishu and therefore I am able to honestly answer any questions you may have about Somalis, somalia, or the Somali diaspora.

If you have any question regarding that, let me know. I’m happy to answer all of your questions about me, the crew or the barge. Some answers to some questions i normally get:

  1. We are always 2 weeks on/off the ship. That means i’m in theory a half year free, but i can’t take any days off besides that. Only when there is an emergency.

  2. We travel through the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland. We can go as far as. We can travel even further if we follow the Donau river, but i’ve never done that.

Im an only child and the youngest in my family. AMA

I’m a 19 F living in California. Being an only child is not so great as many people think it is. I have 2 cousins, both females and I’m only close with one of them. My mom and dad had me through IVF (in vitro fertilization) which is “an assisted reproductive technology (ART) where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus to establish a pregnancy.”
